Gratitude Monday - Smiles
Happiness is never stopping to think if you are...

Can I say that I just LOVE that pic above!
Welcome to Gratitude Monday. Each Monday, stop by & comment on what you are grateful for & how it will impact you to live a healthier life going forward. How it impacts you does not have to be food or exercise related. It can be in any way, shape or form! If you just want to write a grateful comment & nothing else, that is fine too. If your comment is the same as another one, so be it. Everything goes here!
Today I am thankful for family, friends & just those nice people out & about! Do you ever have a day when you are just down or not feeling it & a person that you don't even know says something nice to you & gets you to smile? Those are just the best! I try to do that & it really makes a difference in the person you say it to.. in fact, got to try & do it more!
How about you? Have you been the receiver of this OR the giver? Any story you want to share?
Also, you can still enter the giveaways below thru end of day Thursday!

Harbinger Workout Gloves Giveaway








Today I am grateful for the Fall days where the leaves are falling, air is slightly brisk and then being able to share that beauty with my husband.
Yesterday we had a wonderful time together on one of our bike trails where we ran.

I used to read Life's Little Instruction Book by H. Jackson Brown (he put out a bunch of them, cute little coffee table books) and one of the entrys was "Compliment at least 3 people every day" I love that one! Another entry was "Be kinder than necessary" Have a great day Jody! Thanks for being a great Nana to the kids

I always try to be the giver of smiles and friendliness. When we go riding, I make it my mission to say hi to everyone we pass (in either direction). I say it builds karma points

Lori - nothing like karma points!

I am grateful for natural, whole foods and their ability to heal and strengthen our bodies! It really is remarkable. =)

I'm grateful for the fall weather here - it's been so warm and toasty and the leaves have stayed on the trees all gold and orange.
I love fall

Geosomin - I love autumn too but here in southern CA, not like back east!

Grateful for this upcoming evening: good friends coming over, fridge full of wine & food, and we're all going to watch last seasons' Dexter finale on Netflix 'cause we're all too cheap for premium cable and are always a year behind.
Hmm, is there something twisted about being grateful to spend an evening with a serial killer?
And hope this comment doesn't appear twice, lost my connection and had to resend. If it does, please delete!

Once again I am reminded how grateful I am for the blog community. I got three emails today from bloggers with whom I have connected, for very different reasons
